Advancing the standard of care in plastic surgery

Plastic surgery patient care extends beyond the operating room. While confidence in the OR is essential, postoperative concerns like infections, swelling and tissue integration can impact recovery. 3M™ Prevena™ Therapy provides you with a proactive strategy for incision care, elevating the standard of postoperative treatment and optimising the healing environment to enhance your patients' recovery experience.
